Symphonic Series
Verdi’s Messa da Requiem is a towering masterpiece of passion, drama, and profound emotion, brought to life by the powerful voices of the Portland Symphonic Choir. From the hushed awe of the opening Requiem to the thunderous Dies Irae, Verdi transforms the traditional mass into a gripping theatrical journey that confronts fear, hope, and redemption.
The 2026/27 Symphonic Series season is presented by United Grain Corporation.
